» 142 Failures in Communication

  1. fuzz on the concept says:

    Jesus’ diet for your sins.

  2. david hasselhoff says:

    möses

  3. fuzz on the concept says:

    Praise her size.

  4. Cloral says:

    Um… what?
    Is this a diet or is it exercise? The advertisement doesn’t really seem to know.

  5. methinks conspiracy? says:

    since i lost all this weight on praise-r-cise,
    i can start dressing like a whore again!

  6. Arthur Eld says:

    It’s not fake, it’s a miracle!

  7. Dan says:

    I gather being crucified is remarkably slimming.

  8. Bob the Mul says:

    I’ve seen people lose a lot more thanks to Sharia law.

  9. Cletis says:

    This really looks to me like the uploader merely thinks that using religion as a tool to lose weight is a FAIL. I disagree. While I would never share any aspect of this woman’s faith or beliefs, I fail to see any FAIL here. This appears to be merely a combination of proselytizing and advertising, and if this woman wants to (a) use her faith in a religion I personally don’t share as a tool to accomplish weight loss and/or other improvements in her health and (b) start a business in the spirit of free enterprise to help other, like-minded individuals to do so as well, then more power to her. It’s a self-help scam, no more and no less, and those things work if you commit to them. The only difference between them is finding the one with the gimmick you can buy into — and for a lot of people, religion just might do the trick. Kinda makes me wish I believed in a deity and all the melodramatic trappings of a religion so that I could focus on all that to help me be healthier.

    Or am I missing the obviousness of the FAIL here?

    • Bob the Mul says:

      Yeah… Jesus totally digged the fat chicks. Mary Magdelene was a porker!

    • Janey says:

      Ditto…where’s the fail?

      • Sheik Yerbouti says:

        The fail — aside from a crass attempt to use Christianity to market her “product” — is that the “after” picture is obviously about 20 years older than the “before” picture.

        • aka Cat says:

          Not necessarily. After a certain age, being fat makes a person look younger. The padding makes wrinkles a lot less obvious.

          Unless you meant 20 years younger, like someone else said. If that’s the case, I got nothing.

          (I can’t see her face well enough to tell if it’s the same woman, so I have no opinion.)

          • Cathy says:

            It’s the same woman, but the style of shorts and tank top she’s wearing in the “after” picture appears to be from the 80s, as well as that particular poofy hairstyle (with the blonde roots and all.) I’d put her in her early thirties there.

            The before picture is her, probably taken in the 2000s, when she was in her early fifties and had sagged a lot, not just gained weight.

            It’s not even a photoshop fail, it’s just an amateur marketing department fail.

    • neoritter says:

      Couldn’t one simply attempt to follow the creed that gluttony is a sin and that not eating more than is necessary would be a good thing? It seems that’s basically what the ad is doing here. Last time I checked eating only what you needed to eat would equal an agreeable weight and appearance.

    • hallnut says:

      I didn’t get it at first either until I read the comment left by “fuzz on the concept” that pointed out that “Prais-r-cise” sounds like “Praise her size”, which I believe the uploader interpreted to be ironic since it is a weight loss program.

    • Fat Betty says:

      I don’t see the fail either. I kept looking at the picture, reading every word on it three times, had my son read it in case I was missing something. I just can’t find the fail.

  10. hahaha says:

    Steps of Praise-r-cise:

    1. Admit that you are powerless over your weight.

    2. Believe that a power greater than yourself can help you.

    3. Turn your life over to god as you understand him.

    4. Make a moral inventory.

    5. Admit to god the exact nature of your wrongs.

    6. Be ready to have god remove your defects.

    7. Humbly ask god to remove your shortcomings.

    This is not a cult. You just have to admit that there is some kind God who has complete control over you. It’s the 7 step program.

  11. cornydog says:

    actually, be careful of your voice turning minnie mouse a la cartman

  12. John says:

    I don’t see how something to do with somebody’s faith is a fail.

  13. Arthur Eld says:

    Damn moderation… Again:

    Any chance to post it…

  14. Leila™ says:

    The after photo looks like they sent her right back to the 80s. Do not want!

  15. CIM says:

    Well, it works!

  16. Jimmy says:

    How is this a fail? It’s not. At all. WTF? It’s just a Christian weight loss group. It’s no different than a boxing, running, swimming, etc health group. It’s just combining interests to help you meet a goal. Oh! Those Christians are such fail! Do the same thing with Jews or Muslims and the ACLU will be all over you. WTF Failblog?

  17. Eric says:

    its a good idea.

  18. TaintedShirt says:

    omg

  19. RJ says:

    Fufufu… Jesus is probably the Mexican doctor who stuck the liposuction tube into her. Did he suck out her brain in the process?

  20. Heidi says:

    The “Christian Alternative?”
    Alternative to what? Naughty, naughty Pilates classes?

    • Cordova says:

      Pontius Pilates?

    • flodnak says:

      Well, for some Christians, yes. There are those who consider Pilates to be tied up with New Age philosophy, and therefore in their opinion Christians should stay away from it. Similarly, yoga is connected to Hindu meditation techniques and is unacceptable.

      My guess would be that Praise-r-cise is just an exercise program (maybe aerobics-style?) set to Christian Contemporary music with some Evangelical Christian philosophy mixed in – much as there are diet plans that use Bible verses and so on as motivators. It looks weird to *me*, but I’m hardly the target market.

      • Sara says:

        Yoga is unacceptable to Christians??? When did that happen?? Oh well, if I am going to h*ll I will look damn good in that red bodysuit ;)

  21. Kayla says:

    If by “God” you mean the Archangel Foster….
    Faith in BS “religion”, FTW!

  22. Claudis192 says:

    The 5 times a day she was praying she wasn’t watching Sally Jessy while stuffing her mouth with pies.

  23. Matt Parkins says:

    A diet that covers a multitude of chins.

  24. ism says:

    If you don’t sin, Jesus diet for nothing.

    btw, I’ll take the “After” one, thanks!

    Oh, and what again is the specific difference between a sect and Christianism or any other large religion???
    Right, there is none, except for Christians calling sects sects.

    • PsychoDad says:

      Um, I think you are a little confused there. Re-read your jargon and educate yourself a wee bit better before trying to troll with the grown-ups.

      • ism says:

        please specify, i don’t see my confusion.

        • jspiers says:

          In comparative studies of religion, religion, sect, church, cult, and denomination can all have slightly different definitions, depending on which theorist you pay attention to. However, in the case of a sect, it is generally defined (roughly) as a small group (usually religious in nature) which has split from a larger group due to differences in beliefs or practices. There is a large area of ambiguity, however, as to at what point a sect becomes mainstreamed into a denomination or religion of its own, and the term can actually refer to a non-religious group as well.

    • Gravey says:

      Well, just so long as they’re safe sects.

    • clare says:

      christianity* even

  25. Grouchy Ole Broad says:

    plastic surgery done to tighten up all that loose skin from the weight loss.

  26. Claudis192 says:

    It turned out she wasn’t fat at all. She was just pregnant. The same day she started praying Jesus sent her a sign. He opened an abortion clinic across the road. She gets her tubes scaped three times a year now, She hasn’t looked back since. Prays the lord. Hallelujah

  27. nathan118 says:

    Gotta love how fail blog LOOKS for ways to make fun of people who practice religion.

  28. The Twelve Steps of Praise 'r' Size says:

    1. We admitted we were powerless over noms—that our lives had become unmanageable.
    2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to less-noms.
    3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
    4. Made a searching and fearless inventory of our stomachs.
    5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our nommings.
    6. Were entirely ready to have God remove 60% of our body mass.
    7. Humbly asked Him to remove our lard.
    8. Made a list of all pies we have nommed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
    9. Constructed altars outside major supermarkets wherever possible, and burnt two of every type of pie. (must be a man who did this, who’s with me girlfriends?)
    10. Continued to take an inventory of our stomachs, and when we has noms promptly admitted it.
    11. Sought the Loch Ness Monster through prayer, telepathy, black magic, astrology and copper bracelets.
    12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we continuted to not nom, and promptly died of starvation.

  29. Non-Sequitur says:

    Is this not proof that religion is a currently-undetected and extraordinarily subversive mental disorder that has been spread by “grooming” generations into this belief? If you haven’t found and watched the movie “Religulous” online by now, you are probably one of them.

  30. CatRoulette says:

    Poor Jesus must constantly be looking down on his followers and face-palming…people, hasn’t he suffered enough?!!!?

  31. Nic says:

    inb4 God takes credit.

  32. maxwell says:

    If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ. Let him be accused O Lord come. Amen!

  33. “hurr why is this fail to practice a relijin hurr”

    If you don’t understand why this is fail, I don’t know why you’re on this site.

  34. LaryOly says:

    Here are a couple of excerpts from the Praise-r-Size workout routine:

    First get down upon your knees.
    Fiddle with your rosaries.
    Bow your head with great respect, and
    Genuflect, genuflect, genuflect…

    Two, four, six, eight
    Time to transubstantiate…

    Strangely, this workout routine is identical to Tom Lehrer’s “Vatican Rag”.

  35. AmericanD says:

    Hey, ANYTHING that will help a woman lose weight is a good thing (for my eyes.. and my lunch anyway)

    That being said,
    “The Lord hateth the rotund and the slovenly. They shall be among the first to perish in the End of Days.”
    Revelations, 24:10

  36. anpu says:

    It’s like she’s a different person now, literally. Does this diet dye your hair and give your face some plastic surgery?

  37. Required says:

    So the after picture was a younger version of herself, so either “God/Jesus or whatever other fictional character she chooses to follow” gave her a slimmer figure and made her look younger or she is going to hell because she posted an older younger picture of herself to scam simpleton religious people into thinking she lost weight. SHAME on you sinner!

  38. The only reason women and men over 50 lose weight is to get laid and its usually not by their significant others.

  39. lolcake says:

    “The christian alternative”

  40. Criticalx says:

    He died for your sins to make you thins!

  41. Older & Wiser says:

    Where’s the fail? Your Christophobia?

  42. Awesomeness personified! :) In fact, I would go far as to say this is the most EPIC fail pic I have seen in a long time! LOL.. God will help you no doubt, but only if you help yourself!

  43. Ah just have fun as my friend Jerald Martinetto play only free games in your free time.
